How do I Find a Credible Psychic?
Having a little foreknowledge of possible outcomes is a big help when making life-altering decisions or facing turbulent times. Consulting a psychic is enlightening and reassuring. A psychic can warn you of potential pitfalls in your road ahead or help you work out the best plan for your future. Unfortunately, a lot of self-proclaimed psychics do not have the talents they boast. Take some measures to ensure the person you are entrusting with your future is a legitimate psychic.

Seek acquaintances who have consulted with psychics. Ask who they would recommend. Get names and numbers of other people who might have also used this psychic so you can contact them.

Interview customers about what methods a psychic used, how comfortable he made them feel, how accurate he was and how many of his predictions have come to pass since the reading. Ask what he charged, if his quote was accurate and if there were additional costs.

Search for information on your psychic's name, phone number and business name on the internet, and check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been registered.

Research certifications and degrees your psychic boasts. There are accredited institutions, such as the College of Metaphysical Studies and the Windbridge Institute, that require candidates to earn certification through degree programs and tests. Psychic certification is officially regulated by the government so research institutions that bestow the certificates in question, as well as the criteria they expect their psychics to meet.

Test your psychic at a preliminary appointment and look for signs of fraud. One sure sign is when they keep trying to tack on extra services to the bill. Another sign is when he repeatedly gives vague information that can apply to everyone, like, "I see a name that starts with an 'M'" or, "there is an old woman standing behind you," but fails to give you details without your input.

Be prepared to sit with a few psychics before you find one that you are comfortable with and feel you can trust. A good rapport with you and accurate readings are ultimately the most important qualifications.

Tips & Warnings
Don't try to make connections to what he is saying and volunteer possibilities; ask him to supply the details, and don't go back if he can't.
Consider what information about you is readily available. What you thought of as amazing reading could just be information he obtained with a quick web search. He could be giving you information he got from your blog or web page.
Don't ask the psychic to provide references since they can easily be faked.
Avoid psychics who try to frighten you with a very bleak reading of impending doom, then try to charge you hundreds to thousands of dollars for a special curse-breaker that only they can provide. Report these psychic scams to the BBB.
